I have several documents that need to be merged into one in order to make
pdf. file. Is it easier to make pdf. first then merge? I am confused.

If the documents have different formatting (margins, styles, etc.), it will
be very much easier to PDF each first, then combine in Acrobat.

What if the documents are just text? I just want all the text from dozens of
docs to be in the same doc. How do I do that?

See the article "Print all documents in a given folder to a single print
file€� at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...DocsInFldr.htm

or

See the article "Print all documents in a given folder to a single print
file€� at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...DocsInFldr.htm

And then use that document as the data source for a mail merge using
INCLUDETEXT fields following a similar process to that the article "Graphics
from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of fellow MVP Cindy
Meister's website at
